My 2p: Leave it naked!Otherwise: I like your creative approach of making tools truly yours - and I´ve learned a trick or 2 just by watching.Thanks.
I like it with no scales but I would put the KF4 scales on it if I had to choose.
Nice. Looking forward to seeing this one finished. Also, I would keep the outside tools as you did, but would the big flathead with some kind of bottle opener. There isn't a lot of material on it so I'm not sure one could be ground out of it but I'm sure you'll think of something.
Awesome mod eric! I cant wait to get my shop set back up so I can start modding (tearing perfectly good tools apart) again! I need to learn, and your threads help a ton. Sent from my Galaxy S3 using crapatalk two point oh.
I really love the idea, and have often wanted scissors on my KF4, but my issue is that I don't actually like Juice scissors!Had you consider modding something like Vic 91mm scissors instead?
Looking good Eric As for scales ... have you considered G10?

I have and it's possible but it's really hard to work with!Now that wouldn't stop a man like you, would it? I'll see about doing ONE side in g10. It would solve my pocket clip rotation problem too. The other side I can do in SS rulers. Hmmm
Looks amazing. If you do end up with scales back on it, would you have any interest in milling out a slot and putting in a tritum locator? I saw one on a SS(possibly Ti) modded SAK scale and it looked amazing.
Although i quite like the looks of the skeletonized handles, I´m looking forward to your own scales.
Now we´re talking. and if you are at it, maybe you could offer them in a kit with precision fabricated shims to reduce the clatter of the Surge and a nice milled down Bluntnose head... I´m waiting what´s there to come for my surge...
